Beginning with an integer $n,$ Jake goes through the following steps: $\bullet$ 1. Take the reciprocal of the starting number. $

evablogger [386]

Answer: n= 32

Jakes started with 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n represent the initial integer.

Step 1: take the reciprocal.

Reciprocal of n = 1/n

Step 2: double the number obtained in step 1

= 2×1/n = 2/n

Step 3: take the reciprocal of the number obtained in step 2.

Reciprocal of 2/n = n/2

Since he ended up with 16

n/2 = 16

n = 2×16 = 32

A sphere is just enclosed inside a right circular cylinder. If the volume of the sphere is 140 cm3, find the volume of the gap b

alexgriva [62]

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find Radius :
-----------------------------------------------------------
$\text {Volume of a sphere =} \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3$

$\dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 140$

$\pi r^3 = 140 \times \dfrac{3}{4}$

$\pi r^3 = 105$

$r^3 = \dfrac{105}{ \pi}$

$r = 3.22 \ cm$

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find volume of the cylinder :
-----------------------------------------------------------
$\text {Volume of the cylinder = } \pi r^2h$

$\text {Volume of the cylinder = } \pi ((3.22)^2(3.22 \times 2)$

$\text {Volume of the cylinder = } 209.77 \ cm^3$

-----------------------------------------------------------
Find volume of the gap :
-----------------------------------------------------------
$\text {Volume of gap = } 209.77 - 140$

$\text {Volume of gap = } 69.77 \ cm^3$

-----------------------------------------------------------
$\bf \text {Answer : } 69.77 \cm^3$
